The company will be split into two areas of concentration: Rosen and Silver will be repping clients and building careers, and Kavanaugh-Jones will help clients with packaging and production. (He will also continue to produce films via his Automatik production shingle, which is behind Autobahn, which will star Nicholas Hoult and Felicity Jones; he also produced Jeff Nichols’ new feature, Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, and this summer will be in production on Insidious: Chapter 3.)

Grandview will open for business in June, and the plan is to expand into other areas beyond literary management, such as talent.

The trio originally met at CAA, where Rosen and Silver were in the motion picture literary department and Kavanaugh-Jones was part of the firm's finance and sales group.

Rosen, who joined CAA in 2006 and worked for Richard Lovett and John Campisi before his promotion to agent in 2009, reps clients such as Arash Amel (Grace ofMonaco) and Mark Heyman (Black Swan). He packaged and negotiated the Terminator rights deal with Skydance/Annapurna as well as negotiated a first-look deal at Fox for comic book publisher Boom!/Archaia.

Silver’s 5-year-old Fourth Floor Productions had clients running the gamut from screenwriter Jonathan Igla (Mad Men) to playwright Robert Askins (Hand to God, which is getting a Broadway run this fall) to novelist Charles Cumming (The Trinity Six).
